Hamer Grandparents



As you know from our last posting, we do not have all of our most recent pictures available, so pictures of "Mum and Pops" Newton are forthcoming. For the time being here are some memories with the proud Hamer grandparents...







This is Grandpa and Nana on the 16th at the birth center. They were in awe of the whole process and immediately in love with their first grandchild.

Grandpa Vic said that his name can be altered to be "whatever Samuel wants it to be"!

"Nana" comes from one of Lindsey's very favorite books as a child, "Nana Upstairs, Nana Downstairs."

It was great having my parents here... they distracted me from the waiting game and got a TON of stuff done before Samuel arrived (stuff like organizing all his clothes, pointing out that we needed crib sheets and burp cloths, putting up the tub surround so that I could use the downstairs bathroom...). Then, when the big day came, things would have been scarier had they not been here to offer four more hands. After Sam arrived they, of course, had no objections to holding him whenever we needed a break - even in the middle of the night!
